Menu is simple and well organized, service was good, and food was great. Price was a tad on the expensive side but this is West Van after all!
Had an okay visit here, not great. The interior is rather tired, service was uneven at best, charged for 2nd bread without notifying, pasta was good but nowhere near great, limited beverage selection. There are much better Italian options on the North Shore.
Have been coming here off and on for years, my family has also frequented this venue since they opened their doors. In the past I would have rated them a solid 4.5/5. I know there has been some BOH changes over the years. As of now I have to rate 3/5 for lack of consistentcy and flavor. The dishes we were served for a party of 5 tasted bland and some of the pastas tasted watery. Everytime I come I order the tagliolini frutti di mare. I was very let down by the lack of flavor the last couple times I had it. A little seasoning goes a long way. The pasta noodles themselves are cooked properly Al dente. Appetizers were good still.
I am absolutely appalled at the service. I have been a regular customer for years. I took my nephew for a nice dinner and my halibut was raw which the waitress also admitted. When the manager phoned me today he told me not to get emotional. Never at any other restaurant have I been treated so poorly. I will not be returning or recommending this restaurant again:
You can always count on a delicious meal from a traditional Italian menu at Mangia e Bevi Restorante in West Vancouver. A great place for a romantic dinner for two or a celebratory group meal.
Had a great dinner here. Food was really lovely, and generally very tasty and fresh. Rhiannon was great and the service was excellent.
Italian food done right, with a great wine selection. The food was delicious, but I wish the portion was a little more generous. Service was friendly but on the slow side, that said the young helper was the star! Our water glasses were never empty. My favorite dish by far was the squid.
We came here for a special dinner and were not disappointed. The food and service were excellent. The waitstaff were knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. White linen tablecloths, gentle jazz, made for an intimate atmosphere and a superb evening.
